MAJOR PLAYERS
PHOTOS: © Netflix
CHARACTER BIOS: Netflix
WINONA RYDER as Joyce Byers

Joyce Byers, (née Horowitz), portrayed by Winona Ryder. For
as long as we’ve known her, Joyce has stopped at nothing to
protect her family. While she might be looking for a fresh
start, there are plenty of mysteries — and dangers — that
lie ahead.
DAVID HARBOUR as Jim Hopper

James ‘Jim’ Hopper, portrayed by David Harbour. The end of
Season 3 left some major questions about Hopper’s fate
unanswered, but the iconic police chief won’t give up that
easily. Season 4 finds him far from home, battling an evil
just as deadly as the ones he fought in Hawkins.
FINN WOLFHARD as Mike Wheeler

Michael ‘Mike’ Wheeler, portrayed by Finn Wolfhard. When we
last saw Mike in Season 3, he was saying goodbye to Eleven
as she moved across the country with the Byers family. The
two keep in touch by writing letters, with plans to see each
other over spring break... and maybe fight a new evil along
the way.
MILLIE BOBBY BROWN as Eleven

Jane ‘El’ Hopper (born Jane Ives), better known as Eleven.
She has never let anything stand in the way of protecting her
friends. El is used to overcoming challenges, but this new
chapter finds her navigating the complexities of high school
in California — along with the social world that comes with
it.

GATEN MATARAZZO as Dustin Henderson
Dustin Henderson, portrayed by Gaten Matarazzo. While Dustin
may be a high school freshman when Season 4 begins, he still
plays D&D with his friends... and just might find himself
wrapped up in a new adventure inside the mysterious and
abandoned Creel House.
CALEB McLAUGHLIN as Lucas Sinclair

Lucas Charles Sinclair, portrayed by Caleb McLaughlin. With
exceptional scouting and sleuthing skills, Lucas tries to
stay one step ahead of danger in order to protect his
buddies. When a darker and more ominous threat lands in
Hawkins, he’ll have to be as ready as ever to jump into
action.
NATALIA DYER as Nancy Wheeler

Nancy Wheeler, portrayed by Natalia Dyer. When we last caught
up with Nancy she was exchanging a tearful goodbye with
Jonathan as he moved to California with his family. In the
fourth season, she joins forces with Robin to form a truly
dynamic duo as they dig up horrific secrets about Hawkins and
the Creel House.
CHARLIE HEATON as Jonathan Byers

Jonathan Byers, portrayed by Charlie Heaton. After helping to
kill the Mind Flayer at Starcourt Mall, Jonathan has
relocated to the West Coast with his mom, his brother and
Eleven. While he might be hoping for a relaxing change of
pace from the supernatural horrors of Hawkins, an entirely
new danger soon finds him amid the sunshine and palm trees.

JOE KEERY as Steve Harrington
Steve Harrington, portrayed by Joe Keery. Steve is ready for
some time away from supernatural horrors while working at the
video store alongside Robin. But nothing ever stays calm in
Hawkins for long, and we can expect Steve — and his hair — to
be pulled into the never-ending battle with the Upside Down
once again.
NOAH SCHNAPP as Will Byers

William 'Will' Byers, portrayed by Noah Schnapp. There’s no
doubt that Will has been through a lot, what with being lost
in the Upside Down and all. He finally made it out of Hawkins
with his family, but it’s clear that plenty of horrors await
him in sunny California, too.
SADIE SINK as Max Mayfield

Maxine ‘Max’ Mayfield, portrayed by Sadie Sink. Max has been
through a lot of changes in the past few years, beginning
with her move to Hawkins and, most recently, enduring the
loss of her stepbrother, Billy. The fourth season finds her
grieving his passing... and uncovering plenty of darkness
while trying to avenge his death.
MAYA HAWKE as Robin Buckley

Robin Buckley, portrayed by Maya Hawke. We first met Robin in
Season 3 when she was working at Scoops Ahoy with Steve. Now
a fixture of the Demogorgon-slaying crew, Robin teams up with
Nancy in Season 4 while they investigate the dark secrets of
the Creel House.

JOSEPH QUINN as Eddie Munson
Eddie Munson, portrayed by Joseph Quinn. Eddie is the leader
of the Hellfire Club, the D&D club within Hawkins High
School. When our heroes sign up to join, Eddie eventually
gets pulled into the supernatural dangers of Hawkins, too.
EDUARDO FRANCO as Argyle

Argyle, portrayed by Eduardo Franco. Argyle is Jonathan’s new
best friend. He happily delivers pizzas and enjoys his laid-
back Cali lifestyle — but getting mixed up with the Byers
family will undoubtedly lead to trouble.
BRETT GELMAN as Murray Bauman

Murray Bauman, portrayed by Brett Gelman. With new threats of
evil coming, he’ll have to work alongside Joyce to put a stop
to the Upside Down once and for all.
PRIAH FERGUSON as Erica Sinclair

Erica Sinclair, portrayed by Priah Ferguson. With her quick
wit, snappy comebacks and stealth skills, Erica was a central
player in unlocking the secrets of the Starcourt Mall. At the
end of Season 3, Dustin and Lucas gave her Will’s old
Dungeons & Dragons set, encouraging her to embrace her inner
nerd.

CARA BUONO as Karen Wheeler
Karen Wheeler, portrayed by Cara Buono. Nancy and Mike’s
mother, Karen has been relatively oblivious to the
supernatural goings-on of her town — and children. But as
darkness closes in on Hawkins, the Wheeler matriarch might be
forced to reckon with the nightmarish truth that’s been
surrounding her this whole time.

[Sullivan] There were no signs

of any attacker. No bruises.
13
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
No signs of any struggle.
14
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
It's as if her attacker was a ghost.
15
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
Does this remind you of anything, Doctor?
16
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
No, it doesn't.
17
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
Are you sure?
18
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
Why are you here?
19
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
Really.
20
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
I'd like your opinion.
21
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
I was fired, in case you forgot.
22
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
A foreign government invaded our country,
all under your watch.
23
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
There had to be consequences.

Page |3
Certainly you understand that.
24
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
What I understand is that something…
something is going on in that town
25
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
that nobody… nobody fully comprehends.
26
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
And I also understand
that military strength is not the answer.
27
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
So what is the answer, Doctor?
28
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
More scientists?
29
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
Because it was
men of science, men like you,
30
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
who created this problem
in the first place.
31
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
[tense music playing]
32
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
Everything that has happened in Hawkins
33
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
can be traced back
to Brenner's little pet.

Page |4
34
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
Wouldn't you agree?
35
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
[tense music intensifies]
36
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
[energy thrumming]

38
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
[tense music continues]
39
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
Dr. Brenner trained her
for this very thing.
40
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
Remote assassinations.
41
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
What you're suggesting is impossible.
42
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
-Is it?
-Eleven is dead.
43
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
-I'm not convinced.
-So, where has she been all this time?
44
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
There are rumors she's alive

Page |5
45
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
and receiving help
from someone on the inside.
46
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
Are you saying I'm helping her?
Is that what you're saying?
47
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
If I wanted to chat, Doctor,
I would've picked up the damn phone.
48
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
Now, you can make this easy
and tell us where she is, or…
49
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
we can do this the hard way.
50
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
-[door clattering]
-[soldier 1] Not in here. Go! Go! Go!
51
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
-[soldier 2] Move!
-[soldier 1] Nothing.
52
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
[soldiers speaking indistinctly]
53
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
[woman] Why are you taking that box?
54
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
Those are Peter's old school projects.
55

Page |6
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

You do not need those. Hey!
56
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
I'm talking to you!
57
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
Sam, do something.
58
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
[tense music building]
59
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
[helicopter whirring]
60
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
[Sullivan] I wanna know
everything he's done,
61
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
everyone he's spoken to in the past year.
62
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
And if we're lucky,
63
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
he'll lead us right to the girl.
64
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
[tense music swells, fades]
65
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
[theme music playing]

[eerie, unsettling music playing]
68
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
-[Angela shudders]
-[EMT] Can you tell me your name?
69
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
-Um, Angela.
-Angela.
70
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
Do you know where you are, Angela?
71
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
-Um, Rink… Rink-O-Mania, I think?
-Rink-O-Mania. Very good.
72
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
-Now, where does it hurt, sweetie?
-My head.
73
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
[EMT] Your head hurts?
74
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
And my nose. [Angela whimpering, crying]
75
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
-[eerie, unsettling music continues]
-[Angela] I can't breathe.
76
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
[EMT] Just try to take some deep breaths.
77

Page |8
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

Breathe slow for me, okay? That's it.
78
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
I know it's a lot of blood,
but you're going to be okay.
79
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
-[Angela] I don't think so.
-I promise.
80
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
Just need you to answer
a few more questions, all right?
81
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
-[unsettling music intensifies]
-[Angela] Okay.
82
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
[faint pulsing]
83
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
[Angela] No.
84
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
[Angela] I don't know.
85
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
[pulsing continues]
86
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
[Argyle] I know
this may be, like, upsetting and shit,
87
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
but that future prom queen

Page |9
is gonna be fine.
88
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
It's just, like, rubber wheels.
89
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
-[Jonathan] Plastic.
-[Argyle] Oh.
90
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
Not like hard plastic. Just…
91
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
-Just the soft kind.
-Totally.
92
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
But you ever wonder
why the wheels aren't wood, man?
93
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
Or metal?
94
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
So people don't get hurt
when they get shmacked.
95
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
-Oh.
-Yeah.
96
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
Because it happens
more than you think, man.
97
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
Roller-skate attacks.

P a g e | 10
98
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
Man. Hey, at least it wasn't an ice skate.
99
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
That nose would've been
sliced clean off, man.
100
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
[exclaims]
101
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
-It could've been so much worse.
-So much worse.
102
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
In the grand scheme of things,
it's just a little blip.
103
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
That's a funny word, man.
104
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
"Blip."
105
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
-"Blip."
-"Blip."
106
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
[both, in time to jaunty music]
Blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip.
107
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
[Jonathan and Argyle continue]
108

P a g e | 11
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

[grandiose opera music playing faintly]
109
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
[opera music intensifies]
110
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
-Mom?
-[door closes]
111
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
[yells] Well, well! Aren't you lot
a sight for sore eyes, huh?
112
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
-Hi, Murray.
-You kids like risotto?
113
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
[laughs] Yeah.
114
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
[Murray] There I was, headed down the I-5,
going to see a client in Ventura.
115
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
I'm looking for a motel
to stay for the night,
116
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
and suddenly, bam, it hits me.
117
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
"Didn't the Byers move here?"
118
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
Small world, isn't it? It's a small world.

P a g e | 12
119
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
[Murray] So I thought,
"Hey, you know what?"
120
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
"Why don't I drop in,
say hello to my old friends?" [chuckles]
121
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
It's so sweet of you.
122
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
-Sweeter of you to let me stay. [chuckles]
-[Joyce] And he cooks.
123
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
Mm, and cleans.
A regular little housewife.
124
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
[Joyce] You should stay.
125
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
I'd be tempted, Joyce,
except, you know, you have that, uh…
126
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
Right, that business trip.
127
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
Business trip? What business trip?
128
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
Oh my gosh. [chuckles]
I almost forgot to tell you guys.

P a g e | 13
129
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
-This thing came up at work…
-Can you pass me the olive oil?
130
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
That's wine.
131
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
And it turns out I have to go
to a conference tomorrow. In Alaska.
132
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
-Alaska?
-Tomorrow?
133
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
Crazy, right? [chuckles]
134
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
That's where they're based,
the Britannicas.
135
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
Joan and Brian Britannica.
136
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
[Murray sighs] Mm.
137
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
So do Eskimos, like,
still live in igloos,
138
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
or, uh, are they, like, fully-blown,
like, living in the… in the suburbs now?
139

P a g e | 14
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

Who is this?
140
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
So, Jonathan,
141
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
this means you're gonna have to,
you know, take charge while I'm gone.
142
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
-[Murray] Yeah.
-Wait.
143
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
What?
144
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
What's going on?
145
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
-Oh my…
-Your mom's going to Alaska.
146
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
You're going to Alaska?
147
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
[Argyle] Mm-hmm.
148
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
-What's going on in Alaska?
-The Britannicas are there.
149
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
-The Britannicas?
-Mm-hmm.

P a g e | 15
150
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
Jonathan, what is wrong with you?
151
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45
-I think I know what's wrong with him.
-We just had a super stressful day.
152
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
Stress, huh?
153
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
This girl got shmacked
in the head today at the roller rink.
154
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
-Shmacked?
-Yeah, one of those vicious skate attacks.
155
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
-A skate attack?
-Yeah, but it wasn't an ice skate. It was…
156
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
-[Jonathan] It was a plastic skate.
-No, it was, like, rubber.
157
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
Rubber. Rubber.
158
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
-Rubber.
-[Argyle] You know what? I'm not sure.
159
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
Anyway, she looked like
she's gonna be fine.

P a g e | 16
160
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
-She's totally fine.
-She didn't look fine.
161
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
[Joyce] El, aren't you gonna finish your--
162
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
What…?
163
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
[footsteps receding]
164
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
-[Will sighs]
-What is going on, you guys?
165
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
Okay, I, uh, I sense tension. [chuckles]
166
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
Is it the risotto?
Everyone hates the risotto?
167
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
-Absolutely not. No, it's incredible.
-Mm-mm.
168
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
This risotto is shmackin', dude.
169
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
[chuckles]
170
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

P a g e | 17
Still have no idea who he is.
171
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
[delicate, somber music playing]
172
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
[Mike, echoing] What did you do?
173
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
What did you do?
174
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
-[Eleven, echoing] Angela!
-[Angela screaming]
175
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
[eerie audio distortion]
176
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
What have you done?
177
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
[echoing] What have you done?
178
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
179
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
[sinister music playing]
180
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
[creature screeches]
181
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
[cries shrilly]

P a g e | 18
182
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
[screeches]
183
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
[chittering]
184
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
[sinister music continues]
185
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
[tentacles slithering]
186
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
[tentacles squelching]
187
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

[music builds in intensity]
190
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
[energy booms]
191
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
[sinister music fades]
192
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
[indistinct chatter in distance]
193
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
[distant clattering]

P a g e | 19
194
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
[indistinct chatter continues]
195
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
[boy 1] He sees all this? He sees us?
196
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
He'll shit his pants and cry for Mommy.
This guy's no fighter.
197
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
[boy 2] Hope he tries something.
Gives me a reason.
198
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
[boy 3] Hell, yeah.
199
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
Well, well, look who's decided to join.
200
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
What are you guys doing?
201
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
-We're gearing up.
-Preparing for the hunt.
202
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
[menacing music playing]
203
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
[wrench and bat clang]
204
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
Hey, man. Relax.

P a g e | 20
205
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
We're not killers like Eddie.
206
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
We just wanna talk to him.
207
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
Get him to admit his crime.
208
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
Yeah, a little friendly neighborhood chat.
209
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
Hey.
210
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
You didn't know Chris.
211
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
If you're not up to this, you can go home.
There's no judgment.
212
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
You'll still be one of us, all right?
213
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
No.
214
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
I'm good.
215
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
I wanna help.
216

P a g e | 21
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24

All right.
217
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
Let's capture us a freak.
218
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
[menacing music swells, fades]
219
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
[Eddie panting]
220
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
[floorboards creaking]
221
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39
[whispering] Shit.
222
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
Oh shit.
223
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
-[loud bang]
-Jesus…
224
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
[eerie musical flourish]
225
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
Delivery service.
226
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
[exhales]
227
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
So we got, uh, some good news

P a g e | 22
and some bad news.
228
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
-How do you prefer it?
-Bad news first, always.
229
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
[Dustin] All right. Bad news.
230
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch
with our Cerebro,
231
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
and they're definitely looking for you.
232
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced
you killed Chrissy.
233
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
Like, 100% kind of convinced.
234
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
-And the good news?
-[Robin] Your name hasn't gone public yet.
235
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
But if we found out about you,
it's a matter of time before others do.
236
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
And once that gets out,
everyone and their shallow-minded mother
237
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
is gonna be gunning for you.

P a g e | 23
238
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
Hunt the freak, right?
239
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
-Exactly.
-Shit.
240
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
So, before that happens,
241
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
we find Vecna, kill him,
and prove your innocence.
242
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
That's all, Dustin? That's all?
243
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
Yeah, no, that's pretty much it.
244
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
[Robin] Listen, Eddie,
245
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
I know everything Dustin is saying
sounds totally delusional,
246
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
but we've actually
been through this before.
247
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
I mean, they have a… a few times,
248
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

P a g e | 24
and… and I have once.
249
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
Mine was more human-flesh-based,
theirs was more smoke-related,
250
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
but bottom line is,
collectively, I really feel we got this.
251
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
We usually rely on this girl
who has super powers.
252
00:13:52 --> 00:13:57
-But, uh, those went bye-bye, so…
-So we're technically in more of the--
253
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
-Kinda…
-Brainstorming phase.
254
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
Brainstorming.
255
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
[Dustin splutters]
There… There's nothing to worry about.
256
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
[scoffs]
257
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
[sirens wailing]
258
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
-[whispers] Shit.

P a g e | 25
-Tarp.
259
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
Tarp. Tarp.
260
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
[sirens increasing in volume]
261
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
[camera shutter clicks, echoes]
262
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
[indistinct radio chatter]
263
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
[officer] And after you talked to Wayne,
what happened?
264
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
I heard barking from the dog,
265
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
and then… he was just gone.
266
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48
See anyone lurking about?
Who looks like they shouldn't be there?
267
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
No. No, no, there was nobody there.
268
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
-"Nobody."
-I already told this to Officer Daniels.
269
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

P a g e | 26
Did you look into Victor Creel?
270
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
-Sorry, what's that?
-[Daniels] Victor Creel.
271
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
Wayne got it in her head
that the old nut did this.
272
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05
[clicks tongue] Victor's locked away.
Don't need to worry about him, all right?
273
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
Now, you said last you saw Fred,
274
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
he was by the picnic tables.
275
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
-Do I have that right?
-[car approaching]
276
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
Ms. Wheeler.
277
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
[resolute synth music playing]
278
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
He was by the picnic tables.
Is that correct?
279
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
Ms. Wheeler?

P a g e | 27
280
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
Does the picnic table ring a bell?
281
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
[skater] Whoo!
282
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
[skaters chattering indistinctly]
283
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
Hey, guys, there is a 4:00 p.m. showing
of Police Academy 3.
284
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
Could be fun.
285
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
Maybe we just stay home today.
286
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
What is this?
You guys just gonna mope around all break?
287
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
No one's moping.
It's just the movie is supposed to suck.
288
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
It… [sighs]
289
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
[knocks] Hey, El.
290
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
I, uh, made you some Eggos,
but they're getting kinda cold.

P a g e | 28
291
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
Hey, that's cool. Hop's cabin, right?
292
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
[sighs]
293
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
So, um, are we just
not gonna talk about it?
294
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
[Eleven, flatly] About what?
295
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
I don't know, just maybe,
like, about yesterday or…
296
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
everything.
297
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
[Eleven] There's nothing to say.
298
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
Yeah, I guess, um…
299
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
I guess I'm just a little, uh…
300
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
Guess I don't really understand.
301
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
Why didn't you tell me
what's going on here?

P a g e | 29
302
00:17:08 --> 00:17:12
I mean, you know I'm not exactly
Mr. Popularity back at home.
303
00:17:12 --> 00:17:17
I mean, you've seen it.
I've been bullied my entire life.
304
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
I mean, I… I know what it's like.
305
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
No.
306
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
You don't.
307
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
Okay.
308
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
What don't I understand?
309
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
I am different.
310
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
[emotional music playing]
311
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
I do not belong.
312
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
You mean in Lenora?

P a g e | 30
313
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
-Anywhere.
-[sighs]
314
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
Come on,
you… you can't actually believe that.
315
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
Everyone looks at me like…
316
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
like I'm a monster.
317
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
They just don't know you.
318
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
You think I'm a monster too.
319
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
What?
320
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
Yesterday.
321
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
The way you looked at me.
322
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
You… You were scared of me.
323
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
No. No. [scoffs]
No, that's not… That's… That's not true.

P a g e | 31
324
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
I was surprised.
325
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
Maybe I was a little upset in the moment,
but, I mean…
326
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
I'm sorry. I just…
I didn't know what to do.
327
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
I mean, it just was so crazy.
It happened so fast.
328
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
But it doesn't change anything.
It doesn't matter.
329
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
I… I care for you…
330
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
so much.
331
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
"Care."
332
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
But you don't… you don't love me anymore?
333
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
What… Who… Who said that I didn't?
334
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
You never say it.

P a g e | 32
335
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
I say it.
336
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
You can't even write it, Mike.
337
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
"From Mike." "From Mike." "From Mike."
338
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
"From Mike." "From."
339
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
Okay, okay.
Eleven, you're being ridiculous.
340
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
What, like… What is this?
341
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
You know what I think of you.
342
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
You're the most incredible person
in the world.
343
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
And you can't let
these mouth breathers ruin you. Ruin us.
344
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
I mean, they're nobodies.
345
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
They're nobodies.

P a g e | 33
346
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
And you're a superhero.
347
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
[emotional music continues]
348
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
Not anymore.
349
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
[emotional music swells]
350
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
[TV playing faintly]
351
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
[doorbell rings]
352
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
Ten bucks says Mom forgot something.
353
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
[chuckles] Yeah.
354
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
I'm not taking that bet.
355
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
Hi, does Jane Hopper live here?
356
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
Uh, yeah. Um, what is this about?
357
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

P a g e | 34
Is Jane's father or mother around?
358
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
Uh, no. No, her mom's out of town.
359
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
I'm her brother. Um, stepbrother. But, uh…
360
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
I'm sorry, what… uh, what is this about?
361
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
You may or may not be aware of an incident
involving Jane at the Rink-O-Mania.
362
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
That was an accident.
363
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
-[officer] A warrant says otherwise.
-[Jonathan] A warrant?
364
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
Come on, that's crazy.
That doesn't need to happen.
365
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
-Hey there.
-[tense music playing]
366
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
You Jane Hopper?
367
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
[tense music swells]
368

P a g e | 35
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

[echoing]
You have the right to remain silent.
369
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
Anything you say can and will
be used against you in a court of law.
370
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
You have the right to an attorney.
371
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you.
372
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
373
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
[Jonathan] Can you please tell us
where you're taking her?
374
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
[Mike] Are the cuffs really necessary?
375
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
Officers, answer me.
376
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
Eleven. Eleven, listen to me. Okay?
377
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
Eleven, will you please look at me?
378
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
Everything's gonna be fine.

P a g e | 36
379
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
I am going to fix this. Okay?
380
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
Just… Just stay calm
and everything's gonna be fine. Okay?
381
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
-[siren wails]
-Just… All you have to do is trust me.
382
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
I promise.
I'm gonna get you out. I promise!
383
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
[panting]
384
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
-Has Mom's flight left yet?
-[whispers] Shit.
385

[plane engine whooshing]
386
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
[woman on PA] Ladies and gentlemen,
387
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
the captain has turned on
the fasten seat belt sign.
388
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
Please make sure your seat belts
are securely fastened.
389

P a g e | 37
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09

[inhales, exhales sharply]
Do you think I should've just told them?
390
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
What? Told who?
391
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
The kids.
392
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
About Hopper.
393
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
It… It just felt so wrong
to lie to them like that.
394
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
Mm. Right, right, right.
395
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
Well… [inhales]
396
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
…I'm not exactly an expert in parenting.
397
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
[chuckles]
398
00:21:29 --> 00:21:33
But, for what little it's worth,
I think you did the right thing.
399
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
The responsible thing.
400

P a g e | 38
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

Responsible.
401
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
Your children,
bless their mischievous souls… [chuckles]
402
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
…they like to get involved.
403
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
This way, what?
They play too much Nintendo,
404
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
eat too much junk food, smoke some ganja,
405
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
pound some beers,
406
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
experiment sexually.
407
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
-What's the worst that can happen?
-[plane PA beeps]
408
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
Excuse me, ma'am?
409
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
Sorry to interrupt, but you're gonna
need to fasten your seat belt.
410
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
[chuckling] Of course. Mm.

P a g e | 39
411
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
Buckle up.
412
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
Like this is really gonna save me
if we crash.
413
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
[in Russian] What is this, American?
420
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
What is taking you this long?
Are you tired today?
421
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
Pig.
422

P a g e | 40
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

What do you say?
423
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
Asshole!
424
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
[Hopper grunting]

Your Russian is getting better.
428
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
So is your acting.
429
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
All right. Come on, what is it?
430
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
I bring news from America.
431
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
I heard from your friends.
432
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
They're bringing your money to Alaska.
433
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
When?

P a g e | 41
434
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
Today, I hope.
435
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
If my pilot gets the money,
he will bring it in his plane tomorrow.
436
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
Then you can hitch a ride
back to your country.
437
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
I get rich,
438
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
and you're a free man.
439
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
-Sound too good to be true, yes?
-It does.
440
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
This pilot, you sure you can trust him?
441
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
His name is Yuri Ismaylov.
He's a smuggler.
442
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
Supplies American goods
to some of us guards here,
443
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
including me on lucky occasions.
444

P a g e | 42
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

Cigarettes, peanut butter, Playboys,
445
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
the best America has to offer.
446
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
-Great. So he's a criminal.
-Of course.
447
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
Who else do you want
to do this job? Gandhi?
448
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
[Enzo chuckling]
449
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
[sighs] You're worried
about your woman, is that it?
450
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
I can see why you like her, American.
451
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
When I talked to her,
452
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
I can tell by voice
that she's very pretty.
453
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
-Feisty too. I like that.
-[menacing music playing]
454
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
Shame we won't meet.

P a g e | 43
455
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
You promised me that she would be safe.
456
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
And she will be.
457
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
Let me handle Yuri.
458
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
You have more important things
to worry about.
459
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
Remember, you miss that plane tomorrow,
460
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
I am still rich,
461
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
and you're still stuck in Kamchatka.
462
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
So whatever it is
you're planning, American,
463
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
best get to it, yes?
464
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
[in Russian] Antonov!
465
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
Finish with your American toy,
we need him on the tracks.

P a g e | 44
466
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
Yes, yes.
I am just putting him in his place.
467
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
[spits, mutters in Russian]
468
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
Nosy bastard.
469
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
[in English] Where do you want it?
470
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
[menacing music swells]
471
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
[grunt echoes]
472
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
[Nancy] You're saying that this thing
that killed Fred and Chrissy,
473
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
-it's from the Upside Down?
-If the shoe fits.
474
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
Our working theory
is that he attacks with a spell
475
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
or a curse.
476
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

P a g e | 45
Now, whether or not he's doing

the bidding of the Mind Flayer
477
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
or just loves killing teens,
we don't know.
478
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
All we know is
this is something different.
479
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
-Something new.
-Doesn't make sense.
480
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
It's only a theory.
481
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
No, Fred and Chrissy don't make sense.
482
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
-I mean, why them?
-[uneasy music playing]
483
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
Maybe they were just in the wrong place.
484
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
-Were both at the game.
-And near the trailer park.
485
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
We're at the trailer park.
486
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
Uh, should we maybe not be here?

P a g e | 46
487
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
There is something about this place.
488
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
Fred started acting weird
the second we got here.
489
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
[Robin] Acting weird as in…?
490
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
Scared,
491
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
on edge,
492
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
upset.
493
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
Max said Chrissy was upset too.
494
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
Yeah, but not here.
495
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
She was crying in the bathroom at school.
496
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31
Serial killers stalk their prey
before they strike, right?
497
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
So, maybe Fred and Chrissy
saw this Vecman--

P a g e | 47
498
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
-Vecna.
-Dunno about you,
499
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
but if I saw some freaky wizard monster,
500
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
I would mention it to someone.
501
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
Maybe they did.
502
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
I saw Chrissy leaving Ms. Kelley's office.
503
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
If you saw a monster, you… you wouldn't go
to the police. They'd never believe you.
504
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
-But you might go to your--
-Your shrink.

Where you going?

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
Oh, there's just something

P a g e | 48
I wanna check on first.
509
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
Something you wanna share with us?
510
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
I don't wanna waste your time.
It's a real shot in the dark.
511
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
Yeah, okay. Are you out of your mind?
512
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
Flying solo with Vecna on the loose?
513
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
No, it's too dangerous.
You need… You need someone to…
514
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
Here. I'll stick with Nance.
515
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
Take the car, check out the shrink.
516
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
-Don't think you want me driving your car.
-Why?
517
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
-I don't have a license.
-Why?
518
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
I'm poor.

-All right, okay. This is stupid.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
Us ladies will stick together.

00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
Unless you think
we need you to protect us.

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
Be careful.

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
-Just gonna stand there and gawk?
-Shut up.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
-Why don't we go? Okay?
-Shut up and get in the car.

She wouldn't do that to me.

I fell again. I slipped. An accident.

Uh, they know my sister.

he was calling around looking for Eddie.
Maybe he found him!

she got a grade 2 concussion.

Well, we're her brothers,
and we're family.

P a g e | 59

Eddie's uncle, Wayne,

escaped from Pennhurst Asylum

committing these murders?
696
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
Pretty much.
697
00:36:36 --> 00:36:40
But Victor committed the eyeball murders,
like, way back in the '50s.
698
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
Well, '59.
699
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48

predate Eleven in the Upside Down

701
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

That's why I said
it was a shot in the dark.
708
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
I know. I just thought
that by "shot in the dark,"
709
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
you were being modest or hiding
something super solid up your sleeve

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

Huh? Sorry, talk about what?

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
when you basically
threw yourself at Nance?
742
00:38:42 --> 00:38:45
-That's not what happened.
-Pretty sure that's what happened.
743
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
It was public.
There were a lot of witnesses.
744
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
You implying I still
have a thing for Nance?
745
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
No. I'm not implying.
746
00:38:51 --> 00:38:55
I'm stating. And, as it relates
to your steadfast refusal to date Robin,
747
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
it's pretty much
the only logical explanation.

P a g e | 70

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

in the face right now.

I'm not. I don't wanna talk about it.

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
I'll punch you so hard

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
it's… it's making everything worse again.
763
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
You've experienced trauma, Max,
764
00:39:40 --> 00:39:44
and when you keep your feelings,
your pain, bottled up the way you do,
765
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
it doesn't take much
to trigger them again.

984
00:52:01 --> 00:52:02
That freak won't know what hit him.
985
00:52:03 --> 00:52:05
[tense music building]
986
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
[tense music builds to climax]
987
00:52:20 --> 00:52:23
[music fades]
988
00:52:24 --> 00:52:26

P a g e | 92
[Owens] Sorry about all the theatrics.
989
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28
I… I didn't mean to scare you.
990
00:52:28 --> 00:52:31
But you got yourself into
quite the little predicament, didn't you?
991
00:52:32 --> 00:52:36
You know, I relocated you guys to Lenora
because I thought, you know,
992
00:52:36 --> 00:52:40
"Safe town, small, dull,
far from Hawkins."
993
00:52:40 --> 00:52:41
"Nothing could happen here."
994
00:52:41 --> 00:52:44
And what was it,
a roller skate or something?
995
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
Ready to order some food?
996
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
I think so. Yeah. I'll just… uh…
997
00:52:48 --> 00:52:52
Some more coffee and, um, I'll have a…
998
00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
How about the club special?
999

P a g e | 93
00:52:54 --> 00:52:56

Whatever you want, kiddo. It's on me.
1000
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
[country music playing faintly
in background]
1001
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00
Waffles, please.
1002
00:53:01 --> 00:53:04
Never too late in the day for breakfast,
that's what I say.
1003
00:53:05 --> 00:53:06
Am I in trouble?
1004
00:53:06 --> 00:53:09
For the roller skate thing?
No, no, no, no.
1005
00:53:09 --> 00:53:11
We'll make that go away. Don't even…
1006
00:53:11 --> 00:53:12
don't even worry about that.
1007
00:53:13 --> 00:53:14
That's not why you're here?
1008
00:53:14 --> 00:53:17
-[eerie music playing]
-To be honest with you, kid, I…
1009
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18
I wish it was.

P a g e | 94
1010
00:53:19 --> 00:53:22
Last night, I saw something.
1011
00:53:23 --> 00:53:25
Something I've been dreading
for some time.
1012
00:53:25 --> 00:53:28
I don't know how to say this
other than just to say it.
1013
00:53:29 --> 00:53:31
Hawkins is in danger.
1014
00:53:31 --> 00:53:33
[creatures screeching]
1015
00:53:34 --> 00:53:35
[energy crackles]
1016
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37
[Vecna growls]
1017
00:53:37 --> 00:53:40
You have fought this evil before
and you've won.
1018
00:53:40 --> 00:53:42
[Eleven screaming]
1019
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
But this evil, it's like a virus.
1020
00:53:46 --> 00:53:49
Each time it returns,
it comes back stronger,

P a g e | 95
1021
00:53:49 --> 00:53:52
smarter, deadlier.
1022
00:53:54 --> 00:53:56
A war is coming to Hawkins.
1023
00:53:59 --> 00:54:01
Where you at, freak?
1024
00:54:02 --> 00:54:04
[dramatic synth music playing]
1025
00:54:07 --> 00:54:11
-[Jason] You sure Eddie was here?
-Yeah. I… I'm… I'm positive.
1026
00:54:12 --> 00:54:14
Let's check around the back.
1027
00:54:14 --> 00:54:15
Around the back.
1028
00:54:22 --> 00:54:25
[Owens] There are good people,
brave friends,
1029
00:54:25 --> 00:54:28
who have helped you
fight your battle in the past.
1030
00:54:30 --> 00:54:33
But they alone can't win this war,
1031
00:54:34 --> 00:54:35
not without you.

P a g e | 96
1032
00:54:36 --> 00:54:39
I know it's not fair to ask more of you,
1033
00:54:39 --> 00:54:43
but I wouldn't be here
if I didn't think this was the only way,
1034
00:54:43 --> 00:54:46
if I didn't think you were
the only one who might have a shot
1035
00:54:46 --> 00:54:50
to hit this thing so hard
it can't get back up.
1036
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
I don't have my powers.
1037
00:54:54 --> 00:54:58
What if I told you there was a way…
1038
00:54:58 --> 00:55:00
a way to bring them back?
1039
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03
1040
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05
[helicopter whirring]
1041
00:55:05 --> 00:55:09
I feared this moment would come,
so I've been preparing,
1042
00:55:09 --> 00:55:12

P a g e | 97
developing the means

to restore your abilities.
1043
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
A program has the potential
to not just bring them back,
1044
00:55:17 --> 00:55:19
but bring them back stronger than before.
1045
00:55:20 --> 00:55:24
But there are others
who don't believe in you,
1046
00:55:24 --> 00:55:26
who think you are the cause.
1047
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
I believe they're wrong.
1048
00:55:28 --> 00:55:30
I believe you're the cure.
1049
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32
That's why, if we're really gonna do this,
1050
00:55:33 --> 00:55:35
I'm gonna ask that you leave with me now.
1051
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
The reservation's under "Byers."
1052
00:55:37 --> 00:55:40
[Owens] But you should know
there is a very real possibility
1053

P a g e | 98
00:55:41 --> 00:55:42

this program fails.
1054
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46
And if it does,
you will never see your friends again.
1055
00:55:46 --> 00:55:50
My friends in Hawkins, are they in danger?
1056
00:55:50 --> 00:55:52
[dramatic music continues]
1057
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02
[Owens] I'm afraid
your friends in Hawkins are very much…
1058
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04
-Can I see Fred's file?
-Yeah.
1059
00:56:04 --> 00:56:05
…in the eye of the storm.
1060
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09
You may feel you need to go to them now,
1061
00:56:09 --> 00:56:10
but if you do,
1062
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12
you will risk everything,
1063
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
risk everyone.
1064

P a g e | 99
00:56:16 --> 00:56:20

[echoing] Max, I know something's wrong.
1065
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
[shrill, high-pitched noise]
1066
00:56:25 --> 00:56:27
[music increases in intensity]
1067
00:56:33 --> 00:56:34
-[thunder rumbles]
-[gasps, pants]
1068
00:56:34 --> 00:56:37
[Kelley] Max, what you've been through…
1069
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
[grunts]
1070
00:56:38 --> 00:56:39
Billy!
1071
00:56:39 --> 00:56:41
[Kelley] …it's a lot for anyone.
1072
00:56:41 --> 00:56:42
And it's okay to not be okay.
1073
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
Max? What is it?
1074
00:56:45 --> 00:56:47
[Dustin, echoing] Max! Max!
1075
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50
[Vecna] Max.

P a g e | 100
1076
00:56:50 --> 00:56:53
[Owens] They're not
the only ones in danger.
1077
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
It's life as we know it.
1078
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
-This is why I'm here.
-[purposeful music playing]
1079
00:56:58 --> 00:57:00
Because I believe you are our best hope.
1080
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
Our only hope.
1081
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
What if I'm not good?
1082
00:57:05 --> 00:57:07
What if I'm the monster?
1083
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09
I don't know you that well, kiddo,
1084
00:57:09 --> 00:57:14
but I'm betting the fate of the planet
that you're one of the good ones.
1085
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
But you've spent too much of your life
1086
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20
being told what to do by people like me.

P a g e | 101
1087
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22
I know that.
1088
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25
So, you say the word
and I will take you back home.
1089
00:57:26 --> 00:57:27
Or…
1090
00:57:28 --> 00:57:29
come with me now.
1091
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
Find out for yourself.
1092
00:57:32 --> 00:57:34
[purposeful music continues]
1093
00:57:42 --> 00:57:43
[car rumbling]
1094
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
[determined music playing]
1095
00:58:30 --> 00:58:31

1096
00:58:32 --> 00:58:34
